In the evening, venture back to ARC Bar where live music is played from Thursday to Sunday. Dine together at ARC restaurant or head into the city for the evening. Retreat back to your room to take advantage or the soft woody tones and sweeping views from your panoramic windows. Wake to snow capped mountains and sea planes taking off and landing in the harbor, a truly Vancouver view!

A staple of the Vancouver waterfront, the Fairmont Vancouver makes for the ideal stop at the beginning of or end of your Canada adventure.

Location & Directions

Vancouver, British Columbia

Located right on the Vancouver's waterfront within an easy walk of the center of the city and seaplane terminal.

When to go

Vancouver's climate is the mildest in Canada, averaging 20°C in summer and 2°C in winter. But you don't hear much about that accolade. Instead you hear about the rain. Bucket loads of it fall, especially in winter (January, February and March). In the mountains, a mere 20 minutes away, this translates into snow for excellent skiing. The average seasonal snowfall at 1600m (5000 feet) is a spectacular 25 meters (75 feet), four or five times the average in most areas of the Alps. July through September are the best bets for sunshine.
